Review: Scoring Wilder by R.S. Grey

What started out as a joke— seduce Coach Wilder—soon became a goal she had to score.

With Olympic tryouts on the horizon, the last thing nineteen-year-old Kinsley Bryant needs to add to her plate is Liam Wilder. He's a professional soccer player, America's favorite bad-boy, and has all the qualities of a skilled panty-dropper.

Not to mention Liam is strictly off limits. Forbidden. Her coaches have made that perfectly clear. (i.e. “Score with Coach Wilder anywhere other than the field and you’ll be cut from the team faster than you can count his tattoos.”) But that just makes him all the more enticing…Besides, Kinsley's already counted the visible ones, and she is not one to leave a project unfinished.

Kinsley tries to play the game her way as they navigate through forbidden territory, but Liam is determined to teach her a whole new definition for the term “team bonding.”

A fun & sexy New Adult Romance (age 17+)

I think I hate this woman. Seriously. R.S. Grey write books that are damn near IMPOSSIBLE to put down. I stayed up late, as in way past midnight, until self-preservation took over knowing I should get out of bed by 6 am. I didn't. And I was late for work the next morning. I barely made it at all because I was reading on the bus and so very nearly missed my stop because I was completely engrossed in the book. So, fair warning, reading Scoring Wilder may be bad for your work ethics and get you in trouble with your boss.

Anyhow, more about the book and less about my ditziness.

While being an incredibly sweet and lovey dovey book with an almost too perfect man it deals with some subjects in a way that I can actually truly stand behind. Especially the whole discussion about virginity, maybe it's just my Swedish upbringing but I honestly don't think being or not being a virgin is a big thing. Sex is great so go at it like bunnies if that's what you want, judges be damned.

It also approaches bullying at college level and we get a really great monologue in Kinsley's head about how to handle it, and she's such a fantastic role model!

Our girl, Kinsley, is definitely going on my "Girls I love"-list. She's smart, she's talented and she's determined. She's got a good head on her shoulders and has great values and priorities. She's not: 1. The incredibly shy and insecure girl going to college and breaking out of her shell, or 2. The over the top party girl settling down. She's just you everyday girl who happens to be an exceptional soccer player, which means she's a breath of fresh air when it comes to college aged main characters who always seem to be girl 1 or 2. Sadly, mostly 1. I think that's why I love her the most.

That and all that clever wit. You know how you always come up with the most amazing comebacks two hours after you needed them? Well, Kinsley actually says them right then and there, and the reactions are just as good as you knew they'd be!

And our man, Liam, our soccer god, or just plain old regular god. Christ, he's swoony. Prepare for a lot of face fanning and panty melting. He's almost to perfect to be likable but has just enough rugged edge to be an awesome book boyfriend.

All in all, Scoring Wilder is a sweet and funny read that's perfect for when you just want that all consuming lovey dovey feeling and giggle uncontrollable like a school girl.

“If only we actually were in Harry Potter. I’d totally Crucio her ass. Yeah, that’s right, I’d use one of the Unforgivable Curses. Come at me, Ministry of Magic.”

“She believed she could, so she did.”

“He bent down so I could hear him over the music. "What are you doing here?" he asked with a hard tone.

Okay. Not the best first line. Something like, you look beautiful, have my babies would have been a little bit better.”

(Have I told you I love Kinsley?)

About the author:
I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, metaphors and similes, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things… everyday.

I was born and raised in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I’m a comedy geek and love all things “funny”. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs ;)

Richelle Mead is releasing a new project that's not set around Vampire Academy or Bloodlines and I'm beyond excited! VA is one of my favorite series and my expectations for Soundless are through the roof. By the synopsis alone I'm not all that thrilled, but hey, Richelle wrote it so it can't possibly be bad, can it?

For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village, where rocky terrain and frequent avalanches prevent residents from self-sustaining. Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zipline that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom.

When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink and many go hungry. Fei’s home, the people she loves, and her entire existence …

Summer is coming! At least it's supposed to be, with what looks like to be the coldest May in 10 years we're pretty much still waiting for spring up here...

Anyhow, with summer comes hours spent at in the sand at the beach or just lounging on the lawn. And I hate it. I love the beach because WATER. I'm pretty sure I was a fish in another life. But just laying there, frying in the sun is horrendous. I can't stand it, which is why I'm usually pale as sheet year round. The only way I'll survive the torture is if I can bring a book. Then I might actually get some form of a tan.

I love reading something light and easy when I'm on the beach. I'm not really in to the whole crying my eyes out in public thing and getting hot and bothered in a bikini doesn't sound all that appealing. So light and easy it is.

I'm a twenty-something Swedish college student with a desire to see the world. I'm a lover of all things sweet and everything that takes place in a kitchen. I'm considered a highly professional procrastinator, probably because I've always got my head in a book. And I blog about my somewhat unhealthy book obsession.
